Moments fly
past like birds. You will have to catch them right now, to enjoy
something when it happens, to seize an opportunity, to realize a flash
of insight. Life is full of those bright little birds.
If you can seize them and care for them, they may turn into big things,
feeding your life and soul. The sum of all those small things will make
your life to a bright and shining one.
The mind can discern and catch those moments. It filters out what is not
relevant by letting it slip through the net. The Bright Birds are what
is relevant and visible.

LÍ: At right a bird, and at left a bird-net: to catch or having caught a
bird. Nowadays the net-part means: a bogey, bright, elegant, to
oppose. Meanings: name of a bird, Oriole. Loan for
leave, depart from, to be dispersed, distribute, arrange, vis à vis,
meet with, fall into, fasten, attach, pass through, droop, hang down,
light, brilliance, to be separated from, differ from, to defy, to go
against, paired, hedge.
In the MaWangDui YiJing the name of this
hexagram is Luo, a snare, net, to catch: the picture at right. About

at 3: The Bright Bird of sunset. Not drumming on
jars and singing, then big laments of old age.
Pitfall.

If
you are not able to use little events as cause for joy, happiness or
togetherness, difficult times will be a disaster for you. Useless things
can be extremely useful in another realm of consciousness, so open your
eyes and look for them. If your heart stays young and open, so will you.
(Changes to hex.21)

Above
9: The
king makes use of going out on an expedition with
a celebration, chopping off heads. The catch is not the enemy. No fault.In order to make an idea visible for others, one has
to make a show. Only truth is often too dim for others to become
inspired. Do not deceive them, but make a theatre of what you have to
say.
(Changes to hex.55)

Always
look for the center. If you are not sure you will actually hit the
target, then stay in the middle, never leaving it very far. If you try
to climb higher or travel farther than your own Tao indicates, you will
make a big fall some day. Not only losing your possessions, but your
friends as well: only those who go their own road have real friends.
People leave those who go beyond their own size.
(Changes to hex.14)

It
is not necessary to be perfect. Everybody recognizes a serious attempt
and an honest effort. It is better to show a clumsy truth than a fake
show. (Changes
to hex.56)

9
at 4: Then arising suddenly, then praised, then
dying, then thrown away.Things which are too superficial, too fast, too light
to make roots, they disappear again without even leaving traces. But sometimes things are not meant to be of eternal value. A smile, a joke, a hug, don't make them heavy. Enjoy the moment and go on.

-- Michael PritchardJung says (Wilhelm-Baines,
p.119) that in the Parsee religion fire and care of the cow are
connected. The Divine Light, or fire, was manifested in the mineral,
vegetable and animal world before it appeared in human form. Its animal
incarnation was the cow, and Ahura-Mazda was nourished on her milk.

My view is that hex.30 is about manifestation, the things that are or
become visible. In the world, but also in your mind: consciousness, acquire
awareness, brightness: the capacity to separate things.

(Hex.29
as its counterpart not 'invisibility' but the manifestation of the other
half (right half) of the brain. Coping with feelings, fears, desperation).

I
think for a farmer a herd of cows is the most manifested way of being a
farmer. All this sun turned into big animals. A crop is a nice thing
too, but it disappears every year, sold or eaten, and the herd of cattle
stays
year after year.
